When their parents can't be, we are

Loving the unloved

Accepting the rejected

Helping the lost to find their way home

The heart-cry of every soul is to be loved and belong.

Our mission: Helping others live loved by God.

Here’s how:

establish local bases

We are committed to the development of long-term relationships and partnerships.  By establishing a contextual presence within existing communities, we understand that people group’s exact needs, enabling us to respond appropriately within the framework of their unique culture.

Enriching Lives

Each of us is an original by design.  We desire to help others discover and cultivate their authentic identity (including individual gifts and talents) then, in a safe environment, nurture personal growth and development.

living loved

A person living fully alive is God’s pleasure.  When we are secure in the truth that we are the beloved of God, we can invest ourselves into the world around us, benefiting and transforming humankind as a beautiful expression of God’s love flowing from our hearts.

Transforming Lives with God’s Love

Route 61 is committed to empowering at-risk children in the Kenyan juvenile justice system.

Through our compassionate approach and dedication to restoring hope, we have seen God’s love transform many lives.  Despite past mistakes, we believe in extending grace and forgiveness, enabling children to pursue a meaningful life of purpose.

We invite you to join us on this journey of hope and transformation as we witness the power of God’s love and compassion in action.  Watch this video to learn more about the inspiring work of Route 61.
